        I was hoping you’d show the text that I started with so people can get an idea of how much editing there was. But this is cool too.

        Hope you guys like!

      Thanks. Yeah, I really thought those details help give a standard and quick overview of the tut.

      • http://aiburn.com Sean Hodge

        Jonathan, good points. I went ahead and added a couple more images to this post to show where the text starts from – how it starts as plain text. I love how you customize the text and turn it into illustrated lettering. Thx.
